EAMES & EAMES explores the iterative, hands-on, and human-centered approach of Charles & Ray Eames. Through furniture, toys, paintings, graphics, and personal belongings collected over their lifetimes, this groundbreaking exhibition looks beyond the iconic Eames chairs to reveal the breadth of their creative practice. More than any single object, their work opened doors to new and unexpected ways of seeing, thinking, making, and understanding the world—ideas that continue to inspire us today.

Curated by Llisa Demetrios, Co-Founder & The Lucia Eames Chief Curator of the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity.
